Germany’s Certivity Secures €13.3M In Series A Round

The investment was led by Almaz Capital and UVC Partners, with participation from existing backers Earlybird X, High-Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF), and Plug and Play.

“Certivity is setting a new standard for how compliance is integrated into product development,” says Amanda Birkenholz, Principal at UVC Partners. “They solve a large and tedious problem for any company with regulatory requirements. Compliance challenges are no longer the exception – they are the norm. Instead of asking which products are subject to regulation, it’s nowadays more accurate to ask: which products aren’t?”

Certivity is on a mission to redefine regulatory compliance with its AI-driven, structured platform. The new funding will support its go-to-market strategy, boost product development, and drive expansion into new sectors and global markets.

Nico Waegerle, CEO and co-founder of Certivity, says, “With this funding, we’re scaling our platform to become the category leader in technical compliance – starting in automotive and expanding into heavy machinery, consumer goods, defence, aerospace, and beyond.”

“We’re broadening regulation coverage, enhancing AI, and deepening tool integrations. Thus, we are turning compliance from a mandatory requirement into a competitive advantage for our customers.”

Aniruddha Nazre, General Partner at Almaz Capital, adds, “With some of the largest and most innovative OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers as customers, Certivity has established itself as the leader in the automotive industry for regulatory compliance. With this funding, the goal is to expand in two dimensions: 1) in addition to regulatory compliance, Certivity also wants to cover technical specifications and industry standards; and 2) enlarge footprint to a diverse set of industries such as heavy machinery, aerospace and defence and eventually medtech. We are very excited about this growth prospect.”

Founded in 2021 by Nico Waegerle, Bogdan Bereczki, Jörg Ulmer and Sami Vaaraniemi, Certivity tackles the complex challenge of regulatory compliance in engineering. Engineers can spend up to half their time on compliance tasks, where errors can result in costly recalls or failures. Certivity’s AI-powered SaaS platform transforms regulatory documents into machine-readable formats, automates key processes, and seamlessly integrates into existing engineering workflows.

Certivity’s platform digitizes and organizes regulatory content from over 50 jurisdictions using a proprietary ingestion pipeline and regulatory knowledge graph, enabling full traceability and visibility into legal updates.

Its AI modules streamline compliance by consolidating changes across regulations, extracting and generating requirements from unstructured legal texts, and automating testing. Teams manage compliance through product-specific projects instead of scattered documents or spreadsheets. Integrations with tools like Jama, Polarion and DOORS link compliance efforts directly to engineering workflows, ensuring consistency and auditability.
